Rivers Govt. To Begin Streamlining Of State Revenues

Nyesom Wike, Rivers State, 2019 ElectionsThe Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, says that the political and security intimidation seen during the legislative rerun election in the state will not be seen in the 2019 elections.

The Governor made the assertion on Tuesday at a meeting with traditional rulers and other community leaders from Aluu community in Rivers State, south-south Nigeria.

Governor Wike further assured the leaders of strong government presence in their community in the coming days.

He noted that the role played by Aluu community during the state amnesty programme was commendable, adding that relative peace has returned to the cult ravaged community.

The Governor also condemned the Police for its handling of past crisis in the state.

He alleged that the security officers recently sacked by the Police Command were punished for not allowing him to be assassinated.

He said: “The policemen were dismissed because they did not allow the security agencies to assassinate me as was planned.

“The security agencies planned to assassinate me, but those attached to me resisted the plot and refused to allow them kill me. That is why they are angry and desperate.”

The Governor said that he will continue to defend the interest of the state, noting that he will never plead with the offending security agencies to stop what he called their illegal activities.
